Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson Are “American Sapphic”

Throughout the years there’s been countless parodies of Grant Wood’s renowned “American Gothic” portrait, but this one featuring Lindsay Lohan and her musically inclined lesbian lover Samantha Ronson offers a whole new take. The “American Sapphic” piece was created by LA-based artist Ben Tegel, who described the motivation behind it, telling EOnline that “Lindsay and Sam are the all-American couple for the 21st century.” He also admitted his slight obsession with the starlet, that appears to be motivated by her drug use and lesbian affairs: “She (along with Britney, I suppose) embodied the fin-de-siecle celebrity archetype. Her child-star-turned-drug-addict-turned-lesbian narrative seems to sum up the way fame operates in the 21st Century. I’m really interested to see what happens in the next chapter of her character’s storyline.” |EOnline|
